That would be exothermic. Exothermic reactions are processes that release energy, usually in the form of heat or light. Energy is released because the total energy of the products is less than the total energy of the reactants.

Consider the balanced equation for the following reaction:

Zanzabum

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of carbon dioxide formed in the reaction is 5.663 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of oxygen gas = 8 g

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of oxygen gas}=\frac{8g}{32g/mol}=0.25mol$

For the given chemical equation:

$7O_2(g)+2C_2H_6(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+6H_2O(l)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

7 moles of oxygen gas produces 4 moles of carbon dioxide

So, 0.25 moles of oxygen gas will produce = $\frac{4}{7}\times 0.25=0.143mol$ of carbon dioxide

Now, calculating the mass of carbon dioxide from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Moles of carbon dioxide = 0.143 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.143mol=\frac{\text{Mass of carbon dioxide}}{44g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of carbon dioxide}=(0.143mol\times 44g/mol)=6.292g$

To calculate the experimental yield of carbon dioxide, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Percentage yield of carbon dioxide = 90 %

Theoretical yield of carbon dioxide = 6.292 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$90=\frac{\text{Experimental yield of carbon dioxide}}{6.292g}\times 100\\\\\text{Experimental yield of carbon dioxide}=\frac{90\times 6.292}{100}=5.663g$
